I'm looking for a manga which is about a boy with black hair who escapes from the group who sort is like the military in space and another boy lets him go. They are soldiers. The second boy searched for him all over. The black-haired boy lost his memories and that second boy found him with his allies. They were involved in a battle on ground. I think it is incomplete. Does anyone know this?
Forget this post! I found the manga & it is called "Aegis". Last edited by dmartins on Sat Apr 21, 2018 5:49 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'm trying to find a manga which I read the first volume of a number of years ago but which I can't remember the name of. This would have been somewhere in the neighborhood of ten years ago; and I got it from the library, so it's something that was licensed and translated (the first volume, anyway). Here's what I remember of it, to the best of my memory:
It begins with a battle in space. The main character is a fighter pilot. One of the ships has a large energy cannon shaped like a figurehead of a woman; when it fires, the main character is caught in the blast. He wakes up to find his ship crashed on a sword-and-sorcery type world. There is a statue which kind of looks like the figurehead of the weapon, implying that it's some kind of parallel dimension (though I suppose it could be the past/future; it hadn't yet been addressed by the end of the volume). The pilot salvages what he can from his ship's emergency kit; most notably, a flare gun with a limited number of emergency flares. The land he's landed in is in the middle of a war, and he ends up teaming up with a soldier surrounded by enemy soldiers. The pilot asks the soldier to trust him and close his eyes, then fires one of his flares to blind the enemy soldiers around them. However, his ally didn't trust him enough to close his eyes, and so is blinded by the flare as well and is unable to capitalize on the opening. Meanwhile, the villains are searching the land for ancient weapons. One of the villains gains access to the site of one of them by holding a prisoner hostage with a giant chakram-like weapon and threatening to decapitate her unless he's let in. The weapon is then shown and revealed to be a giant robot or mecha-like thing. Does anyone have any ideas as to which manga this might have been? It's been several years, so I may have gotten some details wrong. |

Hello,
New here but trying to research the work of author Roberta Leigh, an English romance and children's author who was quite big in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. I recently found that one of her novels (Two-Timing Man) was adapted into a manga around 2002, by artist Tsukasa Shimena. I presume, as no writer is mentioned, that Tsukasa Shimena was responsible for the script too? In 2007, it was translated for the US market by Ikoi Hiroe and published as a Harlequin Pink graphic novel called Misunderstood (I'm uncertain of the original Japanese title). I'm trying to find more information about a/ more specifically the manga version of Misunderstood and b/ the wider range of Harlequin manga, to put that adaptation in some context. Were adaptations to manga from novels usual in Japanese, either romance or other genres? I would also like to contact both Tsukasa Shimena and/or Ikoi Hiroe (the latter I know speaks English well, if online videos i've found are her), if anyone can point me in the right direction, please? 
Kind regards, Shaqui |

The manga version of Two-Timing Man was published by Ōzora Shuppan in 2002 in Japan, and its Japanese title was Koi no Promotion (Promotion of Love). The artist was Shimeno Tsukasa. Ōzora Shuppan and Shōgakukan published the manga version of Harlequin novels in the 2000s in Japan. Recently HarperCollins Japan publishes the manga version of Harlequin novels in Japan.
There might have been an uncredited adaptor.
In addition to Harlequin novels and novels which belong to genres with higher affinity to the Otaku Culture, you can sometimes see adaptations to manga from novels in Japan. I have bought and read so-called JET no Kindaichi in the original, which are adaptations to manga by mangaka JET from detective novels by Yokomizo Seishi, in which detective Kindaichi Kōsuke appears.
As to books by Roberta Leigh/Rachel Lindsay (Rita Lewin's two main pen names) published in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s, it seems that the National Diet Library only has two 1979 Roberta Leigh novels. (The first Japanese translation of Harlequin novels was published in 1979.) Was Roberta Leigh 'quite big' in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s? |

Hi Shaqui, and welcome!
I don't know much about Roberta Leigh specifically, but the Harlequin adaptations are fairly common - Harlequin romances are quite successful in Japan, and I believe there are straight translations of them as well. You can find a lot of them at Renta, though the site itself is pretty NSFW. It's also relatively common for manga adaptations of novels, both Western and otherwise, to be made. Many children's classics, such as Anne of Green Gables have manga versions (to say nothing of anime!), and others have inspired numerous reimaginings, particularly Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There are also manga adaptations of series like Twilight and other more recent (YA) romances. Good luck with your research! |

Update: I spent the past few days looking through all the sci-fi manga listed on Anime-Planet, and I finally found it. It's Planet Blood by Kim Tae-Hyung. |

Need help identifying this manga. Sorry if this is a bit vague.
I was contemplating Urotsukidoji when I recalled a manga I had read a few years ago. However I cannot recall it’s name or author. The premise I believe was all about demon/monsters. It was set in modern times. Black and white. Well drawn. May have been fanservicy but not hentai(?) as I recall. Multiple chapters so not a one shot. The first chapter/arc had a M/F couple in love who encounter the ultimate demon/monster (main antagonist whose goal was to evolve (by killing/absorbing/possessing?) into the ‘perfect’ demon/monster) they somehow survive this encounter but it caused the couple to change physically. From the second chapter onwards the story focused on a high/college boy that due his encounter with couple or antagonist had his brain enhanced making him super smart. The couple by the second chapter is now fully transformed and hunting the antagonist. By the end of the series the couple are fighting the antagonist (now ‘perfect’) with the boys help. It ends with the boy defeating the antagonist as the boy had devised a computer/chemical virus (binary code) in his brain and when the antagonist absorbs the boy the virus ends up deleting the antagonist on the cellular level. May have gotten some things wrong but that is how I remember it. Anyone know what I’m talking about? |

a girl working two jobs to pay for medical bills for her friends or sister (not sure which one I'll call her friends for now) her friend meets a rich guy in hospital they fall in love.the guys overprotective cousin (I think might be the brother) sets out to prove that she's just another golddigger after his money and mistakes the girl who works the two jobs for the girl who was in hospital because she's the one who always answers the door when his younger relatives visits them.
Long story short he ends up falling in love with her and find out at the wedding that she's not actually the bride. It was her Injured friend. Anyone know what this is called? |

Hi,
I've forgotten the name of a manga i have read which is completed. The story is about a young boy who has a floating talking skull as a companion, at some point he gets a weapon named "Lance of god" or something. At another point it has demons invading london and there is the song "London bridge is falling down". It all happens during the victorian era. I remember that the ending has a climatic fight with someone using tornadoes. |

Earlier this year I got really into this manga, of who's name I seem to have forgotten. This is some stuff I recall reading-
The main character, a girl (Glasses, long-ish blonde-maybe hair), is No.1 in the school, smartest and all, she likes this guy (black hair) who is the rebel kind, also like worst in the school. The guy's ex-girlfriend realizes she has a crush on him and dresses her up to his 'type'. Alot of stuff happens and we figure out the guy's gay father previously divorces his mother, and gets a boyfriend, to the guys dislike. They girl's position goes down to 12th and her mother gets really dissapointed and forbids her daughter from meeting the guy, who travels to Australia with his father's boyfriend. |

Please help.
Manga is about 2 escorts in an escorting business/company but this business/company allows bets for some extra kinky stuff. This short-haired blonde chick is really good at this whole betting thing no matter the game. Even if there's cheating from the other party, she can win. I remember games about picking a playing card, who can hold their liquor the longest, tying a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue. |

Hi, I'm looking for a series that is not exactly manga. I don't remember if it was chinese or korean, and it was a woman who gets drunk in her hotel room, and due to a mistake in the hotel management, a rich man is given her room and thinks that she's a prostitute, so he has sex with her while she's defenseless. Later she has to break up with her fiance because she's pregnant, and decides to give birth even if it means raising the baby alone... but she gives birth to twins: a boy and a girl. The "good part" starts years later when the kids are about 4 to 7 years old, and the mother is given a work as the secretary for the man who got her pregnant without knowing
